IS VHT COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER MODALITIES?

VHT is in many cases more than enough in any one session. Its powerful vibrational effect upon the body is sufficient and the total holistic address should be allowed to work unhampered and undiluted. It does of course work extremely well in conjunction with:Hypnotherapy, Acupuncture, Hyperton-X, Cranial Sacral, Osteopathy, Ki, Cranio Sacral and even Chiropractic. All have their place and can, if used with care and consideration be extremely complementary to each other. McTimmony as well as orthodox Chiropractors for instance have found that VHT will open up and relax problem areas prior to performing a manipulation if indeed one is required after a holistic VHT address. One chiropractor in Texas commented on the fact that if the client had VHT done prior to an adjustment, then the adjustment really semed to last. All VHT moves can be easily adapted into old fashioned Bowen thereby enhancing its effect.

The advantage to learning VHT compared with many other modalities lies in the fact that it is non diagnostic and non invasive and covers more of the body than any other. Other than two specific moves, which are not recommended on a pregnant client, there are few contraindicate procedures. VHT when correctly applied can injure no one. While VHT is essentially a soft tissue discipline it is used to great advantage by chiropractors, osteopaths, orthodox doctors, massage therapists, rolfers, cranial sacral therapists and practitioners of all hands-on therapies. However it must always be remembered that VHT as a modality stands alone in its own right as a holistic gift to the whole body at all levels. VHT in a high percentage of problems is enough. These simple moves cross all barriers of understanding and restrictions bringing relief to family, friends and clients in what at times seems almost a miraculous healing. To learn VHT there are no long-winded physiology preambles to be memorized and very little anatomy, although it is an advantage in having a basic grounding in the muscular skeletal components of the body. VHT simply addresses the whole body which in turn addresses its own problems and brings about any healing that is required by itself.

Look out for our 2 Day VHT for Family and Friends course, easily learned and affordable.

The students who complete the course to the professional level can find themselves with an interesting and satisfying career, spiritually enriching as they witness daily the astounding effects that VHT can have on their clients. It is particularly beneficial for female practitioners as it is not labor- or strength-intensive. The gentle moves allow for conservation of energy by the practitioner.

The student who completes the ‘VHT for Family and Friends’ course or the VHT Modules 1 – 6 just to be able to help friends finds the seminars equally rewarding. Many people take the entire course to help friends and family with no thought of becoming a certified practitioner.

Dr Kevin Ryan a colleague and friend of Tom Bowen's made this observation.
No matter what we set out to learn we bring with us our previous knowledge and skills. It is to be expected that six (six of Tom’s students) should come away with six interpretations of the master’s work... The difference would have been slight had each of us learned from Tom at the same time . . . Remember that he did not wake up one morning 50 years ago, suddenly inspired with ‘the Bowen Technique’ as you may know it. His road to Damascus extended over some 35 years and is littered with thrown away ideas, new pathways, additions and subtractions, always learning and improving how and what he did best. Indeed on the final morning I spent with him prior to his admission to hospital, he demonstrated a further change to his treatment of one particular lower back presentation.
Considering the dynamic nature of his work and his delicate palpatory and manipulative skills. It is little wonder that the point of evolution at which each of us worked with Tom influenced our interpretation greatly...It is worth remembering that Tom’s work and technique was in a sense not complete at his death, just as every body therapy modality is not completed by the loss of the originator. Each of us who come in touch with his approach has the opportunity to continue its development as we consciously or unconsciously incorporate it into what we already do or vice versa.
